I made some ornaments last weekend. The way pictures come up on this blog is really annoying and I never have time to figure out how and if I can change it. Oh well. Sorry it looks like crap. Anyway.

The Fuzzy One:

I made this with a clear frosted ornament and glued scraps of fabric to it. I had two samples, I didn't have enough fur to cover the entire thing, so I put a hot pink metallic meshy fabric underneath.

The Poinsettia:

Same clear frosted ornament. The light pink petals are from a silk flower I had laying around. Then I cut up petals from a pinkish-gold silk poinsettia and glued some of them on, I also used the green stemmy things from the poinsettia too. Then I glued leaves to the back. Even with E6000, the leaves wouldn't stick exactly where I wanted them to because of the plastic in them kept them too rigid. But it's not too bad.

It's been a long time since I've updated. I've been crafting, just not finishing a whole lot of things. But I'll post a couple later, this isn't a crafty post.

When I graduated college, after a semester of not being able to read anything but articles and textbooks, I was going to read all the books I could manage and keep a list of them. The first book was Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk. I wanted to read this the day it came out, but I had to wait. After my last class ended I went to my car and called my then-boyfriend, now-husband and squealed to him, "I finally get to read that book!" But, like everything else, the motivation to keep track of the books I read faded after a couple months.

Now, inspired by a post in www.getcrafty.com, I'm going to try this again. But I'm going to keep the list going in this blog. In the same kinda way that the 12 Days of Christmas song goes. Every time I add to the list in a new update, I'll post the entire list again.
